At The J. Parry Clinic for Facial Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the personalized care they deserve and strive to offer the best liposuction in Cleveland. 

What Is Liposuction? 

At the most fundamental level, liposuction is the removal of excess and unwanted fat through tiny access sites. With the highest level of safety, most liposuction and body contouring cases can be accomplished in the outpatient setting, but in some circumstances, it may need to be performed in the operating room.

Liposuction can be used to enhance the appearance of various areas of the body, including larger areas like the thighs and stomach, as well as smaller more delicate areas like around the chin and jawline. Liposuction is commonly performed on the:

• Chin
• Neck
• Upper arms
• Chest (Gynecomastia)
• Stomach
• Flanks
• Thighs

It is important to note that liposuction is not a weight-loss procedure and is designed to remove a precise amount of fat from areas of the body to enhance the contours of your figure. If the area being treated has stretched out loose skin, liposuciton may not be the ideal option as the procedure does not tighten skin.

Your Liposuction will be performed by Dr. Jim Parry at his clinic in Mayfield Heights, OH located just outside of Cleveland.

Choosing the Right Surgeon to Perform Your Liposuction

The surgeon you choose to perform your liposuction is a very important decision since everyindividual’s physique and desires are different. Dr. Parry has an eye for the artistic perspective and a great appreciation of the natural, beautiful, and proportional body aesthetics.

In addition to being a double board certified and fellowship trained Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Parry completed a General Surgery Internship at Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, New York where he rotated through Plastic Surgery and first learned his skills in performing liposuction. He continued to master his liposuction skills during his residency and fellowship training and continues to stay current in the newest techniques.

Liposuction should not be viewed as a quick fix for individuals who are overweight. To obtain best results, liposuction should be integrated with exercise and diet to give the most optimal results.

Liposuction Combined with BodyTite 

Unlike traditional liposuction which only removes unwanted fat, liposuction combined with BodyTite also tightens skin. Since BodyTite is performed before liposuction, the radiofrequency causes coagulation and liquifying of fat which allows less trauma and easier fat removal than traditional liposuction.
